[sudo-discuss] E-- Arrested with Felonies

[Gabrielle Silverman]

Almost forgot:

On the question of money, funds from the E- bail collection fund will be
turned into an anti-repression fund for Albany Bulb (so bail and camping
tickets, etc for future police bullshit at the Bulb).

Also Pidgeon was OR'd (but given a Stay Away) and should be released
tonight.
